D            G
you sit there on the couch, 
Em             A
sipping your scotch and ice
D             G
you turn the TV on 
D                A
and tune me out again

CHORUS
                  D
so what would you say to me
              G
if you could talk to me
               D
you could ask anything
            A
i wouldn't lie
             D 
but you're okay with this 
          G
damaging awkwardness
               Em
so i'll just play it safe
             A
and keep it inside
           A
boys don't cry


D            G
I used to hold your hand
Em              A
So tight there was no question
D                       G
But now even when you're near
D                     A
I've never felt so alone

Bridge: if you stand beside me
D                   A
i'll keep you in my life
D                    G
tell me how much you love me
D                A        G
and i'll be just fine
